Democratic National Convention Countdown, No. 45

Democratic National Convention Daily Digest and Open ThreadFriday July 11, 2008--No. 45

•The DNC "Greening Director" is mocked by no less than the Washington Post--"Greening Director? Is that like, Dancing Instructor? Or Tanning Protector? Or Programming Selector?"--more like moonbat wrangler

Numerous anti-war groups have announced their intention to demonstrate in Denver during the Aug. 25-28 convention, but most have promised peaceful actions. The language of the anarchist groups is more confrontational. Unconventional Denver is part of a national group of anarchists planning to descend on Denver.

The group says it will engage in nonviolent direct action and has called for protesters "to engage in a broad variety of tactics to disrupt fundraising events and prevent Democratic delegates from putting on the spectacle they claim as democracy," according to the group's website.

Unconventional Denver wants to shut down, disrupt or delay the convention; storm events; and "ensure that the DNC is a thing of rowdy beauty."

Nobody, for example, is ever going to refer to me as a man who "identified himself only as El Presidente." You bastard."--Drunkablog
